Tetragammaton Lyrics - Mars Volta

Tell me it's over 

rusbel awaits 

i've been to the surface 

and nothing is there 

eyelids sank muffled 

in the nerve aura sound 

but when she awakes 

will she still be with us 

my heart is darkclots 

leap year is late 

how did you get here 

ask all but the bait 

from a christ that went hissing 

constricting his cells 

we summon by candle by book and by bell 

glossolalia coats my skin 

glycerin and turbulence 

stuffed the voice inside of god 

mirrors to the animals 

the sermon goes mourning 

pricking it's hail 

slothful the child 

that preys on the seed 

shall behead the drough 

wound under sleeves 

i hope you have room 

in a thicket of vines 

give me a moment 

to clean what you've stole 

the streets will hang high 

stretch ribs and let taste 

we'll cover the smell with silver nitrate 

mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith 

glossolalia coats my skin 

glycerin and turbulence 

stuffed the voice inside of god 

mirrors to the animals 

then so long 

dear mnemonic 

assume the form 

you've given me and i'll spill 

now hold on 

just hold my hand 

say that they made you 

but you brought your own leash 

tell me no more no 

say i'm the last one 

outside 

by the drift 

you read my will 

of thread and itch 

failure to comply 

as failure to decease 

and still you won't know everything 

i've built the fall 

sulking drained the fall of my pale will 

swarming by your steps 

licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts 

it only meant to drape a plastic 

over the stuck pig scalp of head 

to cover the sock where the flatline had spread 

the kiosk in my temporal lobe 

is shaped like rosalyn carter 

she says my map is home again 

but torn face down 

i have only but a million blemishes 

to tell you all about 

in the end they just gagged me 

to make him come out 

gas me the hind 

of your five legged snare 

tooth picks the eye 

but no things there 

down drags your waltz 

cross the alter top 

from a sleep that 

depravation knew 

trespass your form 

i'm void of dusk 

i'd ask to look 

but the mask stays on 

you'll levitate 

teutonic print 

cruelty is the wrath 

of my instrument 

in the end they just gagged me 

to make him come out 

you locked the cuffs 

arsenic erupts 

will you drink the shadow 

of my red hair 

you and your false 

witness to god 

you've one in the chamber 

but your finger got stuck 

let slip the sound 

of a cry for help 

but all was lost 

on the night you walked 

palms speak through eyes 

serve your memory lost 

i contaminate with insignias 

in the end they just gagged me 

to make him come out 

glossolalia coats my skin 

glycerin and turbulence 

stuffed the voice inside of god 

mirrors to the animals 

wait till it get my hands on you 

i won't forget a face that left me 

just you wait 

till i get my hands on you 

i can't 

you won't remember 

unwrap my corpse 

and let it thaw 

in the eye of the needle 

i can't get out 

they'll check my wrist 

i'll faint a pulse 

i'm not the human 

you thought i was 

if you pet the night 

sixth pentacle dice 

if you roll the seven 

st. michael dies 

they'll be no ransom 

don't shut my mouth 

i scald the answer 

you're afraid of
